As a leading girls’ school in Australia, St Catherine’s is committed to nurturing and empowering independent and globally responsive young women, enabling them to approach all their endeavours with confidence, wisdom and integrity. – St Catherine’s School Charter

As a School community, we help students find their sense of purpose in the world through an environment that integrates critical awareness, a social conscience and quality relationships. We inspire our students to not only own their learning but also understand and appreciate their own unique capacities and the world around them.

Boarding at St Catherine’s School provides our girls with a safe and comfortable living environment. They have the opportunity to make friends with girls from across Australia and around the world. Boarders are provided the freedom to socialise with friends and to explore Melbourne on organised weekend activities, as well as the opportunity to develop positive study habits and importantly, to have a lot of fun!

St Catherine’s prides itself on being a cohesive and unique School community. Current St Catherine’s families, along with our alumnae, future students, and current and past parents and staff, are all active, generous, enthusiastic and supportive members of the St Catherine’s School community.

Victoria Police Letter to School Communities

We have received information from Victoria Police about ‘pop-up’ parties and social gatherings occurring in Melbourne’s Eastern and South Eastern suburbs. The Police have requested that schools warn their school community about these parties as they can be unsafe for the young people attending. These parties are organised via social media and are being hosted in private homes, abandoned buildings and public halls, often at short notice.

Victoria Police acknowledges that many young people are also attending safe parties. However, they have made a number of recommendations to ensure young people can safely attend local gatherings:

Victorian Police Advice for Parents:

·Talk to your children and be mindful of where they are;

·Be vigilant around monitoring all of your child’s social media accounts (consider there may be multiple accounts) and look online at any events your child wants to attend;

·Investigate any party your child is attending, and be satisfied with where your child is and who they are with. If a party location is unknown one or two weeks prior to a party date, this may be of concern;

·Underage alcohol drinking and drug use can increase risk taking.

If you have any information that may assist police, phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
